Shaved legs

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
Does anyone else not shave their legs unless they are going to show them off? Unless I'm going to wear a skirt or cropped trousers I don't shave them mainly because I don't see the point. My armpits are always shaved regardless of what I'm wearing though.

    I tend to shave mine regardless. And if I only shaved my armpits if I was wearing a verst top, I'd never shave them :yuck: ditto(ish) for legs as well.

    I generally shave all year round, but im probably more thorough about it in the summer and do it more often.

    I shave when I feel like it. I must shave wrong, because it takes me like 20 minutes to shave the legs. :\ I don't have that kind of time :p The only times my legs show are at the gym, and I don't really care who sees me with mammoth legs there, theres plenty of other characters to look at.

    My armpits I shave every other day. Every day and they itch. It only takes a second.

    Though I am guanateed to shave the legs about once a week... they get real itchy when it gets real long :p

    I hate that as well. My hairs tends to grow back rather quickly, so I tend to shave at least once a week, else I become really itchy.

    I do it when I can be bothered, I did it tonight as it happens. I love the feeling of just shaved legs in fresh bedding, does that make me weird?!

    Sometimes more if I need to. Now I've started shaving ust after a shower - meaning I end up shaving up to 3 times a week...

    I shave whenever I feel like it or when they're actually gonna be seen.. Which isn't all that often really.. Maybe once a month. :p

    Haha - thats sounds bad!

    Nope. I love that too.

    I usually do my legs every 2 days if not every day, because I live in skirts. In the winter I did it a lot less, because I wore black opaque tights, so they were never on show.

    Underarms I do either daily or 2 days, depending on what I wear.

    i hate having to shave underarm, it annoys me so much. grr! have to do it every day or every other day.

    same as men having to shave their faces though i guess.

    I do underarms about 2/3 times a wekk and the rest between every two days to once a week depending on what time of year it is. Half the time I honestly cant be arsed to do it.

    I shave my legs when either it gets annoyingly long, I'm wearing a skirt, or I'm seeing the boy (in which case I shave EVERYTHING). I shave my armpits every two days, sometimes every day if necessary. It's so annoying :(.

    What makes it even more annoying is that the boy doesn't NEED to shave, I don't know why. The only hair on his body he looks after is the stuff on his head. He doesn't even TRIM down there (but he got all funny with me for not having bothered to do my bikini line when I was wearing a LONG skirt, the twunt). *hateshimrightnow*.

    When I was single I kept everything hair free just incase I got some nookie. But now I'm in a long distance relationship so if we are apart and nobody is going to see them then I don't bother. I had them waxed this week for the first time since September! But my pits are always hair free.

    I shave my legs when I can be bothered. Can be every other day, or I can go weeks/months without bothering. Just depends how lazy I feel.

    I shave my armpits every other day though. More people are likely to spot some armpit stubble than they are leg stubble.

    :yes:

    same.

    also my leg hair is blonde, so far less offensive than pit hair, even if there's a bit of a regrowth issue. i do it loads in the summer, but have been known to cultivate quite the leg rug in winter months.

    I only shave my legs very occasionally, mainly because they don't get that hairy anyway. After about a week and a half, I only have about 2-3mm growth.

    I hate shaving my armpits, but I do it whenever I'm wearing a nice top, as I don't want to look pikey. I've never let the hair grow so far it's curled before.
